ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith is known for his outspoken commentary, whether it’s on sports or broader social issues, and he didn’t hold back when discussing the upcoming presidential election on Wednesday’s episode of his show. Smith turned his attention to Vice President Kamala Harris, offering a pointed critique of her campaign strategy.
During his monologue, Smith expressed frustration with what he perceives as Harris’s lack of visibility in the media. He accused the Democratic nominee of “hiding in plain sight,” suggesting that her limited media appearances are a cause for concern, especially for someone running for the highest office in the land.
“I’m talking to my sister here. Come on now. You’re running for the presidency of the United States of America – you got my vote – you’re running for the presidency of the United States of America,” Smith emphatically stated. “What are you hiding for? And I mean hiding in plain sight.”
Despite his criticism, Smith made it clear that he still plans to support Harris in the upcoming election, emphasizing that his concerns are rooted in the importance of transparency for any presidential candidate.
“These are legitimate questions for a presidential candidate. The reason why I think it’s important to bring this issue up – I support Kamala Harris over Donald Trump. But fair is fair,” Smith added, underscoring that his critique was not a rejection of Harris but rather a call for greater openness.

Smith’s comments suggest that his concerns might be more personal than political, given that he has already decided to vote for Harris over the former president. His remarks highlight the delicate balance between support and accountability that many voters and commentators wrestle with during election season.
In a move that could shake things up further, Smith expressed his willingness to interview either Harris or Trump ahead of the election. He hinted that such a conversation would be both challenging and insightful, providing voters with a deeper understanding of the candidates’ platforms and personalities.
While Harris recently completed a significant week at the Democratic National Convention, it remains uncertain whether she will respond to Smith’s challenge.
However, given the unpredictable nature of politics, anything is possible, and an interview with Stephen A. Smith could be an intriguing twist in the election narrative.
